Geknakte stengel van een plant 1876 - 1951

Theo Nieuwenhuis's "Geknakte stengel van een plant" (Broken Stem of a Plant) is a delicate and minimalist drawing from 1876-1951. The work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's keen observation of nature. The black ink lines, reminiscent of a botanical illustration, create a stark silhouette of a plant against a muted background. Nieuwenhuis's minimalist approach emphasizes the fragile beauty of the broken stem, offering a poignant reflection on the ephemeral nature of life.
